Anne Mendelsons groundbreaking book chronicles the story of milk from the Stone Age peoples who first domesticated cows, goats, and sheep to todays troubled dairy industry. <em>Spoiled</em> shows that drinking fresh milk was rare until Western scientific experts who were unaware of genetic differences in the ability to digest lactose deemed it superior to traditional fermented dairy products. Their flawed beliefs fueled the growth of a massive and environmentally devastating industry that turned milk into a cheap, ubiquitous commodity.</p><p>Mendelsons wide-ranging account also examines the consequences of homogenization and refrigeration technologies, the toll that modern farming takes on dairy cows, and changing perceptions of raw milk since the advent of pasteurization.
